Abstract: | We present a detailed, realistic proposal and analysis of the implementation of a cold atom deflector using time-dependent
far off-resonance optical guides. An analytical model and numerical simulations are used to illustrate its characteristics
when applied to both non-degenerate atomic ensembles and to Bose-Einstein condensates. Using for all relevant parameters values
that are achieved with present technology, we show that it is possible to deflect almost entirely an ensemble of 87Rb atoms falling in the gravity field. We discuss the limits of this proposal, and illustrate its robustness against non-adiabatic
transitions. |
